Smegma Infection Symptoms and How to Clear it Up

Posted by John Dugan on Monday, October 8, 2018, In : Men's Health 

People may want the funk, but not the chunky white smelling kind. That's right – smegma. Smegma didn't start out as all bad. Smegma is actually the end-result of the body's masterful self-cleaning skills and is an odorific concoction of oil, dead skin cells, and other fluids. However, elves and fairies won't come to clean it up for a man, he has to do it himself. And when he doesn't…it isn’t pretty. Not only does it stink, but it also can lead to infections and embarrassment in more int...

When that Penis Rash is a Penis Infection

Posted by John Dugan on Wednesday, February 28, 2018, In : Men's Health 

Most men will develop a penis rash from time to time. It’s often the body’s natural reaction to a wide variety of things, from getting too hot to coming into contact with something the delicate skin doesn’t agree with to too much friction in the wrong places. A penis rash is so common that most men never think about going to the doctor to deal with it, and it usually goes away on its own when a man keeps up with his daily penis care.

Every man wants to avoid a penis infection, and that’s part of the reason most men adhere to very good penis care regimens. Avoiding sexually transmitted diseases is one of the main reasons a man uses a condom at each and every encounter (or if he doesn’t, he knows he should!).

Men and women often divide themselves into two camps, especially when it comes to health. Some conditions are simply considered ‘a female problem’ while others are seen as ‘a male problem.’ This is quite true when it comes to thrush, also known as yeast infections.

Safe sex starts with education, and, unfortunately, most people did not receive quality sex ed in school.

Penis Irritation – What It Is and What to Do About It

Posted by John Dugan on Tuesday, September 9, 2014, In : Men's Health 

The nerve endings in the penis can do great things. When a man is having sex with a partner, the nerves give him no shortage of pleasure. And when he's having a little private time, they can fire off signals of stimulation, too. But sometimes those nerve endings need to send a completely different message. Sometimes, they need to inform a guy about an urgent need for extra penis care.

When the nerve endings send signals of pain, penis irritation is the likely culprit. It's uncomfortable, b...

Posted by John Dugan on Thursday, August 8, 2013, In : Men's Health 

The human body is an efficient machine, capable of handling a variety of tasks without receiving any sort of direction whatsoever.

The foreskin is more than just an extra flap of skin at the end of the penis. This bit of tissue, also known as the prepuce, plays an important role in penis health. From birth, it protects the glans penis (or head) from the outside world, helping to prevent injury and preserving sensitivity.
